Chapter 136 The Pursuit 4 (1/2)

As soon as Lenny, Forge and Saito were in the ship, John immediately powered up the thrusters to escape from their pursuers.

”Hey, Connor, long time no see!” Lenny greeted John with a wide grin on his face the moment he entered in the cockpit.

”Fuck off!” John was very angry at the casual Lenny.

The universe's fate was at risk, and here he was, saving a freeloader named Lenny.

John started to regret his decision of coming as soon as he saw that annoying and dumb smile on Lenny's face.

John glanced at the Navigation Console and saw the ships pursuing him where still chasing them and they started to charge their energy weapons that could easily penetrate his weak Forcefield around the ship and the fragile hull compared to the strength of the weapons in the opposite fleet.

Lenny went beside John and looked with a serious expression at the images on the console.

”Those two should be comfortable now.” Peri entered in the cockpit and said to Lenny, ”The Hylotl kid looks to have been drugged, as for the female Apex, is just some minor injuries, and a concussion. She should be awake in just a few minutes.”

Immediately after landing on the spaceship, Lenny gave the two he had been carrying for Peri to put them in a comfortable room, before walking for the cockpit.

”Oh, thanks.” Lenny dismissively thanked as he only threw a quick glance at Peri before returning his attention at the console.

”Wait a minute...” Lenny suddenly realized something. He glanced back and forth between John and Peri before slyly smiling and nodding in understanding, ”You surely are a womanizer, John. I have been away for only a few days and you already got yourself a lady-”

”Shut up!” Both John and Peri shouted at Lenny.

”Ouch...” Lenny made a face he been hurt before laughing and saying, ”I take away what I said. She's no lady at all, she's a brute-”

*Bam*

John only saw a green blur before Lenny was sent flying away from the cockpit.

Peri's face was emotionless and cold as she lowered her arm that she just used to punch Lenny away.

[You deserved it.] John thought to himself as he took pleasure on Lenny's misfortune.

He was angry at Lenny, but the punch delivered by Peri at Lenny's chest, was enough for him to forgive Lenny.

It was in that day that Lenny learned that teasing John was okay, but teasing Peri would have heavy consequences.

”Urgh...” Lenny stood up from the ground as he rubbed the place in his chest where Peri hit, ”Like I said, a brute...” He made sure to whisper in a voice low enough that only him heard.

”Protector...” Lenny heard a robotic and emotionless voice through the speakers in the hallway, ”The pursuers' weapon have finished charging. They are taking aim at the spaceship. I suggest start evasive maneuvers.”

”Alright... SAIL, give me full control over the spaceship.” John went for the controls and started to type as fast as he could.

With full control over the ship, John could easily start to properly pilot the ship.

Although he had never been the best pilot in his class, he was about in the middle. For the Terrene Protectorate's standards he was very above the average pilot outside the Protectorate.

[This is no simulation...] John thought as cold sweat dripped from his forehead, [Is a life and death situation. Let's hope my skills can take us out of this predicament.]

Inside the leading ship that pursing John, the captain looked at unfamiliar spaceship on front of him.
